Snyder has been growing weaker steadily
for the past two months, and in Novem-
Der his limbs began to swell, and he could
with difficulty limp about, thoughsall eff

Indian Summer.

Ie is matter of discussion whether the
ihoian summer belongs IN October or the
beginning OF November, but there would
seem 10 De no doubt, after the past few
days. where to place that much disputed
season. we are all grateful for the warm,
osight days, which are like a parting kiss
OF nature to the dying year, and one could
wish that the Indian sum mers were not so
heetlng. but few sharp frosts show this
recond summer to be only truce, de-
luslVe peace before the war of storms that
continues through the witer.
hby this season has received the Curl
Gus name of Indian summer it is hard to
say. In France it is called the summer
or 81. Msrtln, that saints day being the
1lth OF November In the ecclesiastical
calendar The French, always happy in
their expressions, never speak in harsh
phrase of spinster becoming an old
maid but politely intimate that she is
entering st. Martin summer. The word
indian came TO be applied to it according
10 webster, the photographer, because at
THIS warm season the Indians went hunt
ing to supply themselves with meat
enough to last through the winter.
Another story Is that the heat and haze
at This time came from the prairies which
the Indians were accustomed TO barn at
this season, the smoke from which was
driven eastward by the prevailing autumn
winds; while yet another account credits
the origin of the term to the incredulitv
of the early settlers, who smiled when the
sayageS told them of the sumner that
was to come late in the year, and with
general dlstrost of the aboriginss, sarcas-
tlcally called the promised warm season
an indian summer" mere delusion.
as we still have the term used by children,
who call person who gives and takes
back present an "Iniin giver" The
last explanation is the most reasonable.
as undoubtedly the name came IA early
colonial times. But, right or wrong, we
can be thankful that the Indians for once
told the truth, and enjoy TO the
full the mild, soft air of the pleasant
days which this second summer brings
US.

Frightened a Tramp.

Miss Ada Dodd is the handsome 16-
year daughter of Capt, David Dodd,
who lives near Falling Waters, Pa. Sne
keeps house for her father and brother,
and is known as the best shot with rifle
or shotgun in the region. few days
ago she was alone in the house when a
Misunderstanding tramp slouched mp,
seated himself in chair on the porch,
aud ordered the girl to get him some
dinner. She went into the house and
took down her double barreled rifle and
told the tramp to leave. "Bah," he re-
piled, Il amt afrrid of any woman shoot
ing. You cant bluff me-" At that mo-
ment a chicken ran across the yard.
When it was several rods away, and still
on the run, Miss Dodd brought the rifle
to her shoulder and fired. The chichen
fell dead. The ball had cut it's head
square off. The girl looked around to
note the effect of her shot on the tramp.
He was half way across the yard aud
making for the fence, with his tattered
ceat-tails straight out behind him. He
never stopped or looked back as far as
he could be seen flying down theroad.
Il pulled up to notch his ear with the
other bullet as he got over the fence"
said Miss Ada, in telling her father of
the incident, 'but had to laugh so to
see him scoot that couldn't take aim.''

Women on Mont Blame.

Sixty one women in all have made the
ascent of Mont Blanc. The fact is tes-
titled by the antique register religiously
kept at the Office of the guides at Cham
Dunk, as everybody may see for himself.
The first female ascent of the giant of
the Alps was made by two French women,
Their example was quickly followed in
after seasons and in the end the record
stands as follows: English womep, thirty
two; French women, fifteen; Russian
women, Four; American women, three;
Swiss women, two; and Prussian, Danish,
Hungarian. italian, and Austrian, one
each. Eleven of these ladies accompan-
led their husbands. The mania for max
ing ascepts through evil and good report,
has this year heen rather conspicuous, the
excursions to the summit have numbered
thirty nine, as against an average of
eleven. The French on this occasion
have taken the lead, followed, not very
closely by Englishmen and English
women, and still further off, by Americans
and Germans.
